I think that I am going to explain the same thing with your teacher though....
Particle 'は' indicates the function of the preceding word '四回'.It indicates the topic. Therefore, th word preceding は often becomes a subject. は is translated into English as "as for..., talking about..." etc.
eg) Watashi wa John desu. = Talking about me I am John.
Seeko-san wa Nihon jin desu. = As for Seeko she is Japanese.
Hence, you might be able to understand は which is in the sentence you pasted as follows.
Taking about four times it is frequency of my trip in a year.
or
As for four times it is frequency of my trip in a year.
Does it make a sense for you??...
